the ‘vh1 divas’ concert is back! bet you never knew it left, huh? apparently the network put the show on hiatus for four years. but not to worry, vh1 is prepping for the big show’s comeback in september. with performers in the past like mariah carey & aretha franklin, i was interested to see who they tapped for this year’s concert. well, the ladies have just been announced.

leona lewis? check; she’s an absolute powerhouse. adele & kelly clarkson? definitely have proved their staying power. but miley cyrus? she’s 16 for pete’s sake. the concert is touted as having ”legendary” performers… i don’t really think miley can quite be legendary at the age of 16. yes, she’s got a large tween following, but let’s be honest – her vocals are nowhere NEAR the likes of past ‘divas’ performers.

regardless, the ladies will belt out their hits live on vh1 on september 17th, 9/8c. the network just released the following info with more details on the big she-bang: “for the first time ever, these leading ladies at the top of their musical game will perform together live at the howard gilman opera house in brooklyn, new york.  continuing in true ’divas’ tradition, the evening will feature a night of unforgettable performances from various performers, presenters and special guests. additional performers & presenters will be annonced in the coming weeks.”
